Chapter 347: Raising 100,000 Military Horses

In May, when Cao Cao personally led an army of 50,000 to Guandu to meet Yuan Shao's army, the long-awaited Luo Zheng and Sun Ce sent troops almost at the same time. Luo Zhengbei led an army of 80,000 cavalry out of Guguan and went straight to Luoyang.

Sun Ce personally raised an army of 30,000 troops, crossed the river to the north under the response of the Jiangdong naval army, and broke through the important military town of Liyang in Jiangbei with lightning speed, and then waved his army to the north and forced Hefei, and Huainan was in an emergency for a while.

Luoyang, North Palace.

"Brother, what now?"

Li Heng hurriedly turned around, and said in a panic: "Luo Zheng led an army of 80,000 cavalry to send a letter to Guguan, Gucheng has fallen, what should I do now, brother, Luo Zheng poured out, this is to wipe us out......"

"Shut up!"

Li Wei was irritable and wanted to kill, and loudly cut off Li Heng's noise.

Li Heng seemed to be choked by the throat, and his voice was silent, but the panic on his face couldn't be concealed.

Li Shi, Li Wei, Li Jin and other nephews were also standing next to them, their faces were full of panic, and they couldn't wait to flee for their lives.

Li Wei took a big stride and paced around the hall, his face was gloomy and he could almost scrape a layer of frost, and there was still deep sadness and powerlessness in his eyes.

Once upon a time, Li Dao was also high-spirited and ambitious.

Especially after Dong Zhuo's death, Li Dao seized Luoyang, with nearly 100,000 soldiers under his command, thinking that he could lead the Xiliang Army and achieve an immortal feat, but he didn't want to end up surrounded by people and scattered people.

Li Dao was very unwilling, and more was deeply powerless.

The wheels of history rolled forward, crushing many heroes.

Li Wei couldn't figure it out. What is inferior to others, and he will be mixed up to such a point. And Luo Zheng is just a pawn in the Xiliang Army, but he can catch up. And after Dong Zhuo's death, he swept away the old generals of the Xiliang Army in Guanzhong, and finally became more and more powerful, swept across the desert, went south to Xichuan, and became one of the most powerful princes in the world.

And he is at the end of the road, and he is about to embark on the old path of Guo Yan and others.

At present, there are only 8,000 soldiers and horses left in Luoyang City, and the morale is low, and many soldiers do not even have a complete weapon. If it weren't for the military academy leading the troops, it is estimated that he would have thrown away his weapons and fled for his life, how could he resist Luo Zheng's 80,000 army.

If there is no grudge with Luo Zheng, simply open the city and surrender, both are the old department of Xiliang, Luo Zheng will not treat himself slowly, I heard that Zhang Ji is not bad now, although it is just a Hanyang Taishou, but for the sake of the old department of Xiliang. At least no one will trouble him, and it will not be a problem to live the second half of his life richly.

But the problem is that everyone in this world can take refuge in Luo Zheng, but he Li Wei can't.

Think about those things back then. Li Dao felt powerless.

Comparing his heart to his heart, if it was himself, it would be impossible to let Luo Zheng go.

"Newspaperβ€”"

That's when it happened. A fast horse rushed directly into the palace, and it was still far away. The scout shy back and roared loudly. "Oh no, lord, 30,000 Xiliang cavalry have been killed twenty miles away."

"What?"

Li Dao almost jumped up in surprise, how could he come so quickly.

Li Heng, Li Shi, Li Weizu, Li Jin and others were all shocked, and they couldn't be calm anymore.

"Let's go, let's see!"

Li Tietie blushed, waved his hand violently, and went straight to the west gate of Luoyang.

However, as soon as I arrived near the west gate, before I got to the top of the city, I saw a sky full of smoke and dust sweeping in the distance, rolling and waving, as if a strong wind was blowing, and the rumbling hooves were like a muffled thunder falling from the nine heavens, making the heavens and the earth lose color.

Nothing but a loud rumble could be heard in the ears.

When he reached the top of the city, he saw that tens of thousands of cavalry swept across the mountains and fields in the smoke and dust rolled up, like a huge torrent of steel, rushing over, as if to completely submerge the majestic Luoyang City.

Although they were used to seeing cavalry, and seeing such a momentum, everyone couldn't help but turn a little pale.

Li Dao was even more in a trance, since Dong Zhuo was killed and the short-lived Liang Dynasty of the founding of the country fell, how long has it been since he saw the charge of the Western Liang cavalry, and he really misses that passionate feeling.

It's a pity that now these tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry are here to ask for his life.

In the continuous sound of the bull's horn, the 30,000 Xiliang cavalry began to slow down when they were still two miles away from Luoyang City, and finally lined up five hundred paces away, and the two wings stretched out to both sides, fan-shaped rows, front and rear rows,

Suddenly, the cavalry in front of the formation parted to the sides.

Luo Zheng urged the horse out, and under the escort of Xu Chu and dozens of personal soldiers, he left the battle and rushed to the city of Luoyang.

Li Wei looked at the wind at the head of the city, and saw Luo Zheng riding a white jade sweat blood horse, wearing gold chain mail, majestic, radiant, and extraordinary, and there was a kind of prestige in the world.

Compared with Dong Zhuo, who was already dying, Luo Zheng is like the rising sun, shining brightly, and is in the most glorious stage of his life, Li Wei is jealous and admired, but he can't help but sigh in his heart.

What's more, Luo Zheng is still very young, just in his early thirties.

Except for Sun Ce, who seized Jiangdong, Luo Zheng is the youngest of the princes in the world.

And Sun Ce is just a son inheriting his father's business, and the foundation is laid by his father, but Luo Zheng came from a humble background, and laid the foundation of today's business with one hand and one foot, and it is far more powerful than Sun Ce, how can Li Wei not sigh.

"Where is Li Dao?"

Luo Zheng built a pergola and looked at the city for a long time before he broke off.

"Humph!"

Li Dao flashed out of the banner and asked sharply, "Luo Zheng, why do you want to offend me Luoyang?" ”

Luo Zheng took a closer look for two years, and saw that Li Dao's noodles were dish-like, described as withered, and he had reached the age of the curtain, and he couldn't help but feel a complicated feeling in his heart, and in an instant, the pimple in his heart was immediately blown away by the wind like a floating cloud.

The Xiliang Military Group with Dong Zhuo as the core has been destroyed, and the current Xiliang Legion is no longer the previous Xiliang Legion.

With his current status and power, it is really unnecessary to care about the old things of the past.

It's like a tiger wouldn't bite a wild dog to death, otherwise a tiger wouldn't be a tiger.

Some emperors can even let go of killing their father's enemies, although Luo Zheng does not have so many of them, but there is only one Li Dao, and he has no deep hatred against him, and it is really not to the point where he has to kill.

Countless thoughts instantly turned through Luo Zheng's mind, and he laughed and said, "Li Wei, don't talk about this nonsense!" As the old saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is Kou, Dong Zhuo failed to lead the Xiliang Legion to chase the Central Plains and achieve the world's hegemony. ”

Li Wei's face changed several times, and he asked, "Can you spare someone's life?" ”

Luo Zheng dialed the horse's head and said: "What about sparing your life, how can this general take a wild dog to heart and quickly open the city and surrender, otherwise when this general breaks Luoyang, there will definitely be no chickens and dogs." ”

Li Wei was furious, but he really lacked the courage to die, and his face changed.

Li Heng, Li Shi, Li Wei, Li Jin and others looked at Li Dao with a blank face, and their hearts were also up and down, they were afraid that Li Dao would not be able to let go of his son and die if he did not surrender, it would be fatal, and they didn't want to give Luoyang a funeral.

Li Wei struggled for a long time before waving his hand and saying, "Open the city gate!" ”

"Yes!"

An adjutant hurriedly answered loudly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Heng, Li Shi and others also put their hearts back in their stomachs, secretly screaming that it was okay.

Soon, the Luoyang West Gate Suspension Bridge was lowered, and in the piercing sound of the machine, the jack gate was raised, and the city gate was opened.

After a while, Li Wei tied his hands and led a group of henchmen out of the city on foot, until he walked in front of Luo Zhengma, and then stood aside dejectedly, waiting for the fate, Li Heng, Li Shi and others all slapped their smiling faces, and their hearts were full of ups.

Luo Zheng carried a horsewhip in his hand and did not dismount, but just stared at Li Dao coldly for a long time before saying: "You can bend and stretch, you Li Dao can also be regarded as knowing some current affairs." Since General Ben promised to spare your dog's life, he will not go back. ”

"Thank you, General!"

Li Heng, Li Shi and others were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked them.

Li Dao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that he had finally saved his life.

Luo Zheng's tone changed, and he said: "However, although the capital crime can be avoided, the living crime is unforgivable. The general will demote your Li family to a lowly status, go to raise horses for the general, and if you are pardoned within three generations, when will you raise 100,000 high-quality military horses for the general, and when will you be exempted from the lowly status. If this order is not fulfilled within three generations, your Li generation will be degraded to a lowly status. ”

Li Dao's face changed, and then he sighed, lowered his head and said nothing.

Li Heng, Li Shi, Li Wei, Li Jin and others had a miserable change in their faces, and the excitement just now disappeared in an instant.

Originally, I thought that after taking refuge in Luo Zheng, I would be able to do something, no matter how bad I was, I should be able to be a rich man, but I didn't want to be beaten into the abyss again and be demoted to a lowly status, which is not as good as a common person.

100,000 military horses, which can only be raised by teenagers.

At least my own generation, there is no hope of turning over.

Li Heng and the others looked desperate, looked at Li Dao, and then looked at Li Dao who was dejected, their mouths squirmed for a long time, they wanted to say something, but they didn't dare to say it after all, and finally they all hung their heads with wilts.

Luo Zheng waved his hand, and hundreds of cavalry rushed over, and immediately took Li Dao and the others down.

Soon, the Xiliang cavalry drove into Luoyang.

Yan Xing led the army to disarm all the 8,000 Xiliang rebels in Luoyang City, and gathered them in the camp north of the city to watch and detain. These rebellious armies originally belonged to the Xiliang Army, and they had no resistance to Luo Zheng, they were all honest and did not take the opportunity to make trouble.

Luo Zheng had just sat down in a large hall when Yan Xing hurried in.

"Lord!"

Yan Xing handed over a package and said, "The last general has found this item from Li Dao's mansion. ”

"What's that?"

Luo Zheng took the package and asked casually.

Yan Xing scratched his head, hesitating that he did not open the country.

Luo Zheng opened the package and saw that his eyes were fierce, and it was the jade seal of the country. (To be continued......)
